North West

Temporary Class 1 drivers in Ellesmere Port

Experienced C+E drivers, briefed on the job before they arrive.

Night trunking between the M6, M62 and M58 corridor parks and the Port of Liverpool and the national hubs is typical Class 1 work across the North West. We match drivers who want night work, not just any shift.

Container work carries its own rhythm: port slots, booking references and waiting time. Drivers we book for it know the routine.

Much of the Class 1 work across the North West depends on the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool, where a late start can cost a delivery slot at the other end of the country.

HGV Class 1 / C+E

Class 1 work we can cover

From trunk routes to yard work.

How it works

What happens after you ask

We match the driver

We look for C+E drivers who have run similar work and want that shift pattern.

We check the paperwork

Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.

Planned cover in advance

Holidays and known peaks can be booked weeks ahead so the rota is settled early.

Class 1 planning

Planning Class 1 cover

Hauliers often need C+E cover for a defined period, such as a contract launch, a peak season or a driver's leave. Temporary drivers fit that window without a permanent hire.

Chilled and frozen work adds temperature checks and fridge-unit monitoring to the job. Say so in the brief and we look for drivers who have run reefers.

For a Class 1 request, include:

  • Where the tractor unit is based
  • Whether the work is trunking, container or general haulage
  • Any ADR classes the load requires
  • Double-deck, drawbar or walking-floor experience if needed
Compliance

The compliance we confirm

Driver CPC means 35 hours of periodic training every five years. We confirm it is current, along with C+E entitlement, the tacho card and right to work.

C+E drivers tell us which routes and trailers they know best. We match on that experience, not on the entitlement alone.

Night trunk to cover?

Tell us about the run

Give us the unit, the run and the start time and we will do the rest.
